WSJ article on Duffel Blog

Popped up in the Early Bird digest; here's the link to the original Wall Street Journal article. I got a kick out of one quote from the creator of the site:
Quote:
Asked about that incident, Mr. Szoldra, who is currently covering real news as an intern in New York for the Business Insider website, said he shouldn't "be responsible for people believing everything they read" on his site.

"Incidents like this only illustrate a serious problem with our education system," he said. "Apparently, they aren't teaching skepticism or critical thinking in some parts of the country anymore."

I agree with Mad Dog,, just remember to use Pink Text..

I enjoy the DB - it reminds me of some of the stuff we used to do as young NCOs when bored.

I enjoyed that it punk'd the serving and seeking-to-be congresscritters - what does that say of our lawmakers.
